it will be a victory for the united states of america. let's work to change the political system, as imperfect as it is. i know people fill doubt about the way things are going here in washington sometimes. it is easy to get up on the political process, but we have put in place rules about lobbying and transparency, tougher rules than any administration in history. it is not enough but it is progress. don't give up on hope for advocacy or activism. they're too many needs to be met and too much work to be done. like dr. king said, we must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope. but as broaden are caught -- coalition, building a confederation of liberals or conservatives, of red states for blue states, but all americans searching for better tomorrow. the urgency of that our demands that we make common cause with all americans, white, black, brown, all of whom are being hammered by this recession, all of whom are yearning for that spring to come. it demands that we reach out that those left out in the cold even when the ec

abdulmutallab to the united states. >> underestimating al qaeda in yemen is it one of the conclusions, but there are others. there was a failure to assign anyone to follow up on the threat even with the information they had. shortcomings on the watch list kept umar farouk abdulmutallab's name from causing the radar to go up until he was already in the air. initial search of the suspect's name used the wrong spelling, that's just what we're learning from the initial report. this week i spoke to a former director of intelligence under george w. bush. welcome to you both. mr. ambassador, administration officials had told us last night that the american public would find this report in its glory pretty shooking. what in it did you find most surprise something. >> well, first of all, you use the phrase in the leadup here that the system is broken, and i don't think that's really true, and i think in the statement the white house issued today they made clear there have been a lot of successes since the reforms took place after 9/11. as john brennen said, hindsight is 20/20 vision. we've had
